For people who don’t understand the meaning behind the song, the singer has stated in multiple interviews he was in a bar in Liverpool when “love will tear us apart” by joy division came on. The singer of the wombats (murph) finds it ironic that people got up and started dancing happily to a song which talks about very dark subjects hence the irony

saw these guys at leeds fest friday night. one of the best gigs of my life, during this song the whole crowd went crazy, tent was completely full. incredible.
Heard them via a random Spotify mix about 6 months ago. Took my kids to see them in Dublin last month. One of the best gigs I’ve ever been to in my 56 years !!! Get to see them if you can.
@@rowleyac I saw some of their live shows on UA-cam and my mind was blown by how good they are on the stage Unfortunately I can't go and see them cuz they still didn't have shows planned in Germany but gotta see them when they have here
I’m American and one day idk why but I searched google for wombat knowing that it was an Australian animal this band came up and I listened to moving to New York and have loved there music ever since
I didnt know for 10 years who joy division was, but I did remember the phrase "lets dance to joy division" in this song. I was reading an article about which type of songs where good against stress ... let love tear us apart of joy division was amongst one of the most stress reducing songs. So I looked for 'let love tear us apart" expecting to hear this song ... Instead I got to hear joy division. Started to read a little about the background story of joy division. Came back to this song, and it immediately made all sense ... This after 10 years of just liking the chorus of this song.
@@Lucaazade I'm in my early 20s and all my friends are at the very least familiar with the name joy division if not familiar with their's and New Order's music
I saw The Wombats a few months ago for the first time after loving this album for 10 years. I went to the show with my then-girlfriend who was just a casual fan. I started a mosh pit during this song, the only mosh pit of the night, and she got so mad at me for doing so. Still don't understand why, but I had been wanting to hear this song for 10 years and it was so much fun, so there were no regrets.
I must admit I had to look-up who "Joy Division" was. Now I get why there is irony in dancing to their music. I listened to a few songs including "love will tear us apart", the singer sings in a very sad voice, and killed himself in 1980.
Loved this song from the 1st time I heard it and still do even after 1165181049464373x listening to it.... GREAT MOOD BOOSTER 🎶EVERYTHING IS GOING WRONG BUT WE'RE SO HAPPY🎵
I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps they’re a time lord? Or a hive mind. Everyone knows that hive minds experience time in much larger intervals the larger it is. For two people in a hive mind, a year feels like two. For a thousand, a year is a millennia.
Remembered this randomly after not listening to it for 5 or so years since I was 18, I’m in a psych ward right now and oddly felt happy with people for the first time in a while playing a simple card game
I had the pleasure of seeing them live at Austin City Limits over the weekend. I fell in love with this song but had no idea it was so old. Such an underrated band.
This song always manages to bring up my mood whenever I need it :') 1:53 It's also the first song I listened to this year; it's going to be a good one!

@The_Unnamed_ UA-camr It's still ironic tho...
Lmao I'm sick of that song, absolute radio plays it all the time and I'm like wtf
Makes sense
Rlly not ironic cause Ian Curtis literally had a signature dance
What else would it be about? Building a fence?
My friends band covered this song at an outside wedding about a year ago. They floated off into the cosmos, no ones seen them since.

_Lyrics :_
"Let's Dance To Joy Division"
I'm back in Liverpool,
And everything seems the same,
But I worked something out last night,
That changed this little boys brain,
A small piece of advice,
That took twenty-two years in the make,
And I will break it for you now,
Please learn from my mistakes,
Please learn from my mistakes.
Let's dance to joy division,
And celebrate the irony,
Everything is going wrong,
But we're so happy,
Let's dance to joy division,
And raise our glass to the ceiling,
'Cause this could all go so wrong,
But we're so happy,
Yeah we're so happy.
So if you're ever feeling down,
Grab your purse and take a taxi,
To the darker side of town,
That's where we'll be,
And we will wait for you and lead you through the dance floor,
Up to the DJ booth,
You know what to ask for,
You know what to ask for.
Go ask for Joy Division,
And celebrate the irony,
Everything is going wrong,
But we're so happy,
Let's dance to Joy Division,
And raise your glass to the ceiling,
'Cause this could all go so wrong,
But we're so happy,
So happy.
So let the love tear us apart,
I've found the cure for a broken heart,
Let it tear us apart,
Let the love tear us apart,
I've found the cure for a broken heart,
Let it tear us apart,
(Let it tear us apart)
So let the love tear us apart,
I've found the cure for a broken heart,
Let it tear us apart,
(Let it tear us apart)
So let the love tear us apart,
I've found the cure for a broken heart,
Let it tear us apart,
Let it tear us apart,
*Let it tear us apart.*
Let's dance to joy division,
And celebrate the irony,
Everything is going wrong,
But were so happy,
Let's dance to joy division,
And raise our glass to the ceiling,
'Cause this could all go so wrong,
But we're so happy,
Yeah we're so happy,
So happy,
Yeah we're so happy,
So happy,
Yeah we're so happy.
+von pikkendorff thats it. its a very short song really.
And this is pointless because we can't even copy the comments
THANKS YOU!!!
lol, three years ago... I wonder how youtube was back then.... cus its shit now, WATSUP LOGANG= proof
_Thanks for explaining to me what song this is for._
I'm so obsessed with this song lately. How did I not know about this before?!
I just have te same. Saw the music video on a local channel where i accedentally came.
i won't disagree lol. Herr der Zeiten

YESSSS it was absolutely crazy!
Same 😊 it was mad but brilliant
Olivia Childe I got crushed
yeah I saw them at reading, it was crazy, also I realised the guitar the singer uses in the video is the same he used at reading XD
I just came here because I love Joy Division, not disappoint tho
It is dissapointted...
The Wombats! featuring 12 small unnamed children...
I am one of them! Even a close up of me haha
Serious? Awesome.
Danny Tinker seriously?
I’m sure they have names
Damn!I’d break every bone in my body to meet The Wombats,you’re one lucky dude!
I love the british pronunciation in this song so, so much!
Who's listening to #LemonToAKnifeFight today? 🍋 🔪 thewombats.lnk.to/ltakf
An excellent song
Me
2023 and this song is still on my playlist!
An irresistible, delightful slice of power pop. Can't help but boogie to this tune or, at least, foot tap when it comes on.
Am I the only one who listens to this song ironically when I'm pissed off?
not the only one
Isaac Wells don't worry you're not the only one there
FOO FIGHTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
leon craig no
Felix Kreuter what?
Still sounds so good in 2020. Stay safe!
yep
Hey, I'm here in 2021 and it's still a banger!
I'm ashamed to say I'd barely heard of The Wombats till last week until I got this album. What a band!!! And this is the cream of the crop for me.
Same I only heard of them like 2 months ago
Man there's a lot of good bands out there we didn't discover yet
Heard them via a random Spotify mix about 6 months ago. Took my kids to see them in Dublin last month. One of the best gigs I’ve ever been to in my 56 years !!! Get to see them if you can.

Very few bands have released consistently better albums the way Wombats have
Only heard of band because colleague had this song blasting at work and had to ask who they are 😮
I’m American and one day idk why but I searched google for wombat knowing that it was an Australian animal this band came up and I listened to moving to New York and have loved there music ever since
exact same thing for me lol
This song belongs to Frank and Buster
Takes me back to being 16 im 31 now. What a song this is.
I'm 16 at the minute. It's bizarre to think that someday I'll listen to this and look back on being a teen
Only came here because Joy Division is one of my favorite bands but I was not disappointed.
Same, when I clicked, I figured this band at least has good taste going for them.
Finally, a positive comment
same here
I live in Liverpool and every time I land on a plane I sing this song lol
im American but my brother and i love Liverpool fc
Champions of Europe
Poor you living there

I am seriously confused how a comment from 4 years ago by a verified creator has one like (besides mine now) and is shown to me.
KIgaming he wasn’t always verified so he wasn’t in noticed now the comment is lost in the sea of comments
God I loved the Wombats when I was in highschool. This was one of my all time favorite songs and I low key forgot it existed until now. Very nostalgic
I’ve loved this song since I was a child and I feel it’s very comforting in some way
Loved this song from the 1st time I heard it and still do even after 1165181049464373x listening to it.... GREAT MOOD BOOSTER 🎶EVERYTHING IS GOING WRONG BUT WE'RE SO HAPPY🎵

Love how British this feels even when everything is going to shit we put on a fake smile and have a fucking good time
no one:
every band in 2007-2010:
hey i have a cool idea for a music video lets record ourselves playing the song but not really playing
what
yeah like every music video ever?
it would be pretty hard to play a guitar underwater like some music videon
Yes you had bands then, they could play instruments and not just use samples on some shit editing computer program.
@@chilli-iceolive-abode2447 literal boomer lmao, you're not even correct either
The has to be one of the greatest pop rock songs of all time..
2000s-2010 music is the best, have this song stuck in my head and I’m not at all angry about it
I’m more upset it is actually that old
I've got a strange feeling these guys are great live... Gonna go satisfy this feeling by seeing them live tonight in L.A. WOO!!
One of my favourite songs

Hey it's a cool tribute to a wonderful band

I saw them live in Omaha, Nebraska. It was so fun, great energy. Will definitely go see them again.

Not underrated. Learn what that term means, sunshine.
@@clvrswine Who are you calling your sunshine? Hes simply stating the band deserves more attention, nothing wrong with that.

One of my favourite indie hits!:D

This song is so happy, I bet it could stop a man from killing himself
Too soon...
I don't get it.. Captain?
Jorik Jonker Ian Curtis, the lead singer of joy division, killed himself
Restless Mech True dat
